- A safety-engineered device designed for high-flow peripheral intravenous access
- Primarily used in acute care and clinical settings where a large bore and high flow rate are required
Uses
- Rapid fluid administration:
- Ideal for emergency and trauma care where high volumes of fluids or medications need to be administered quickly
- Blood and blood product infusion:
- The large 16-gauge lumen accommodates the administration of viscous fluids like blood and blood products efficiently
- Radiology and diagnostic imaging:
- Suitable for power injection of contrast media during procedures such as CT scans
- Critical care and surgical settings:
- Used in operating rooms and intensive monitoring units for dependable vascular access in adult patients
Features
- Blood Control Technology:
- A passive septum within the catheter hub prevents blood flow from the catheter upon needle removal, minimizing blood leakage until a luer connection is made
- Push-Button Needle Shielding:
- A safety mechanism that instantly retracts the needle into a protective barrel at the press of a button, ensuring the entire needle length is sheathed
- BD Vialon Biomaterial:
- The catheter is made of a kink-resistant polyurethane material that softens up to 70% inside the vein in response to body temperature
- BD Instaflash Needle Technology:
- The 20G needle incorporates a unique notch designed to improve the visualization of the first blood flashback, confirming vessel entry and promoting first-stick success
- Straight Hub Design:
- A non-winged hub design for standard insertion techniques
- Sterility:
- The device is sterile, latex-free, and non-pyrogenic
Benefits
- Enhanced Safety for Clinicians:
- The blood control and push-button shielding technologies are clinically demonstrated to reduce the risk of needlestick injuries and blood exposure by 95%
- Minimized Mess and Cleanup:
- The blood control septum eliminates the need for manual venous compression during insertion, reducing blood spills and associated cleanup time and supply costs
- Improved Patient Comfort and Dwell Time:
- The BD Vialon biomaterial reduces the chance of mechanical phlebitis (vein inflammation) by up to 50%, enabling longer, more comfortable dwell times in the vein
- Higher Insertion Success Rate:
- Instaflash technology helps ensure proper placement and greater first-stick success, reducing painful "hit-and-miss" insertions for patients
- Efficient Workflow:
- The one-handed insertion capability and immediate safety mechanism activation save time for healthcare providers, allowing for a more efficient workflow
